Pfizer found to be 100 per cent effective in children aged 12 to 1511/05/2021|6min
President of the Telethon Kids Institute Jonathan Carapetis says studies found the Pfizer vaccine was 100 per cent effective in children aged between 12 and 15 years of age.
This comes as the FDA gave emergency approval for the jab to be administered to Americans between the ages of 12 and 15.
“The studies in kids don’t have to be quite as big as the studies in adults because we know so much about how this vaccine works,” Mr Carapetis said.
“So, this pivotal study that they did in 12 to 15 year-olds was a bit over 2,000, 2,200 12 to 15 year-olds and they found that only the children who received the placebo vaccine got COVID.
